Lizard Lodge - architect designed country retreat

Fondly known by the family as “The Lizard Lodge”, this quirky, architect designed country retreat is set amongst the trees and rural landscape. Here, you'll find peace and quiet, and privacy from neighbours.

*Accommodation Details*
The house has 2 pavilions, with the main part featuring the living area, dining, kitchen, loft bedroom and sunny, wraparound deck. The furnishings are comfortable and groovy. Catch the summer breeze on the deck where there is a big outdoor dining table and BBQ. This country home has a lovely warm vibe, and is ideal for guests who wish to indulge in music, art and reading on their coastal break.

*Bedrooms and Bathrooms*
Bedroom 1 - Queen bed with air conditioning
Bedroom 2 - Queen bed with air conditioning
Bedroom 3 - 2 Bunk beds with air conditioning
Loft Bedroom - Double futon

*ALL bedrooms in the pavillion have ceiling fans and split-system Air Conditioning units as of November 2022

There is a semi-outdoor bathroom/laundry with big shower off the main house and another bathroom in the bedroom pavilion with a clawfoot bathtub.

*Kitchen*
In the kitchen, any perceived lack of sophistication is more than made up for with lashings of country-style charm. It is well equipped with all the modern conveniences including a dishwasher, microwave, gas stove and filtered tap water.

*Entertainment and Living Areas*
The open plan lounge, dining and kitchen opens onto the big wraparound deck with outdoor dining setting and BBQ, perfect relaxing as the sun goes down. The pot belly stove ( BYO firewood) will keep the house toasty on those cold winter nights and for lounging in front of the TV. Unfortunately, there is no Wifi at the property.

*Additional Features*
Part of the yard around the house is fenced to make the house child and pet friendly

Perfect family getaway
We loved this property. Just as advertised. We enjoyed outdoor fires, breakfast on the deck among trees and wildlife and the kids being older enjoyed their own space. It is close to a number of beaches, Coolum, Peregian & Noosa. Location is perfect. We recommend for a family getaway.

Nice place but could be better
Lovely place 10 mins drive to shopping centres and beaches but could do without bugs mosquitoes & other unwanted insects, We stayed for 10days half the time was raining we had no clothes dryer to dry our clothes, the indoor clothes line was pretty small for 10 adults Probably needed better communication with cleaners etc & host We had no gas on the bbq bottle had to go and buy a new bottle and no where to put out rubbish first couple of days because the council bins weren’t emptied.Needed thorough overall cleaning inside as some inside corner walls had cobwebs

Peaceful rustic retreat
We loved staying on this property. The alternative style was lovely and we really felt relaxed staying here. A nice private, quiet property, you feel like sitting in the bush. A 10 min drive to a lovely beach. We will consider booking again !

Spacious and relaxing
Lizard Lodge has a very open and relaxing feel. We enjoyed the spacious deck and separateness of the main house from the bedrooms. Unfortunately we stayed during a week of wet weather which also meant masses of insects. It was very difficult to keeping them outside.

Great location
We loved the bush location while still being so close to the beach, & we loved the outdoor fire experience, it felt a bit like camping! Unfortunately the property was not cleaned to standard & we had a few maintenance issues. I do suggest a comfier couch & also making it clearer in the listing that there is zero security in the property & that the rooms open to the outside, as this may not suit all families.

Bush retreat
We stayed here with our two grandchildren 7 and 8 for an emotional recharge. The kids loved the adventure of exploring this interesting property. They were too scared to stay in the bunk room on their own though and there was a fair bit of bed swapping. We loved the natural environment. If you like the bush and no visible neighbours you will love it.

Wonderful stay with friends
Our family stayed here recently with 2 other families with small children and we loved it! Fire pit & pot belly stove for the chilly nights and great outdoor entertaining area when its warm. We all loved the outdoor shower. Its close enough to the beach and the shops but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I highly recommend this property.
